Potential organisers of a future Argentine Grand Prix must build a new
circuit, according to F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.

We reported recently that the 78-year-old was in talks with potential
promoters, after the South American country last hosted a race at the
Autodromo Juan y Oscar Galvez in capital Buenos Aires in 1998.

The local newspaper Critica indicated that a street race is a possibility.

"We're interested in going there (to Argentina) but they (the promoters)
have to do something. They have to build a circuit," Ecclestone said at
Silverstone last weekend, the Spanish newspaper Diario Sport said.

Asked if the old venue was a possibility, the Briton bluntly answered:
"No."

Also asked about Argentina's chances, Mercedes chief Norbert Haug
confirmed that the existing Buenos Aires track is not an option.
